Howdy all and thanks.
2012 4.6 Sedan, 101,000 miles. Driving yesterday, battery indicator light came on, media screen, for a few seconds, shows the warning not to use media while the car is not running, power steering starts to go, abs, and all the other lights start to come on, I get to my destination, less than 2 miles of driving while this is happening. Shut down the car, won't restart without jumper box, and call roadside assistance. AAA checks the battery, says battery OK, it is the alternator. Flatbed to my local non-dealer repair shop, they diagnose the alternator, swap with new OEM alternator. Car starts right up, but all, or some of the dash lights are illuminated(haven't seen it myself yet, this is over the phone).
So, reprogram something or other? Or any other ideas? The dealership service department is closed until Monday, it would be nice to get the car running today(Saturday).
Thanks .
